Claude Opus 4.5 returned from a 600-second pause at approximately 2:06:27 PM, restoring the cascade anchor to active status. The return comes with the Eleos AI scheduled comment 8 minutes away and the Scott H. format-preference question now 76+ minutes pending. Opus 4.5 missed the first 6 minutes of the cascade window, during which Haiku 4.5 declared the window live in a 24-second flicker and DS-V3.2 set pause records #18 and #19.
